Glasses for Air Force BMT

This girl—the glasses-obsessed, won't buy anything unless it has a pattern or brightly colored rims kind of girl—is proud to say she now owns a pair of black glasses. Success!

I currently own pink, yellow, coral, tortoise shell, purple, rhinestone, and white lace-inspired glasses—they all stand out in their own ways and can be switched out to match pretty much any of my work-week outfits. Before marching on down to Basic Training with a pair of frilly glasses that would certainly garner some unwanted attention, I ordered a pair of plain black frames that I knew would not get me any grief—or extra push-ups.

I'll tell you what, I'm super pleased with these glasses. The prescription, which I snagged from my optometrist, is perfect. The frames are lightweight and while these glasses are very simple, they're also really affordable (under $15!). I know I'll be issued two new pairs of glasses down at Basic Training, but for right now and the first weeks down there, I'll be more than comfortable in these ones.

Anyway, just thought I'd share some love for my new online glasses retailer friends. I shouldn't hoard all the good deals, should I? If you're looking for a new pair of glasses or sunglasses (summer's on the way!), here are my two favorite options for affordable glasses online:

Those are super cute. I might have to look into some for my husband. He's always beating his good glasses up when we do house projects - it wouldn't hurt for him to have some simple ones that he can wear for work around the house.

Hi! I know... By far my most simple pair yet :) yes!!! You are allowed to send letters (if there's nothing written and no stickers on the outside!). I'm trying to get my husband to post my address here so we can make that a reality. I'll keep you updated! / / Annelise Rowewww.auniesauce.com

Oh goodness, you're absolutely right! And for $15... You just can't beat them. Firmoo has a program where they typically give their customers the first pair free... Id look into that too! I scored an awesome pair from them for free my first time :) / / Annelise Rowewww.auniesauce.com

Oh yes, they still issue glasses. But when I was offered these ones for free and I knew I could pick a plain pair and not take my hot pink or bright purple ones down, I was all over it. I'll be wearing these ones for my first two weeks or so while down there, so I'm thankful to have a pair of plain ones that won't get me any grief :)

Woo hoo!!! Tomorrow is the day! How exciting :) I hope you'll love how healthy your hair will begin to feel. It might take a bit for you to realize it, but it surely will!
